Wow, wish my school would of provided us with team meals. The only thing we got was a samich put together from our parents for the trip home on away games.
I usually ate some kind of carb/protein mix the night before. For example some nights id have like chicken alfrado or something of the such. Never wanted to stuff myself before a game.

Generally, pastas, chicken, about 4 hours before the kickoff. No soda...just water or Gatorade.
If it's a morning game I recommend high carbs (again pastas and things like that) and in the morning omelet with spinach, some light cheese, maybe a strip of two of bacon or sausage but that's it. Milk but mostly water.Champions are not born. They are built.
You wondered if all the pain and sacrifice is worth it...now you know.
Gold medals aren't made of gold. Not really. They're made of sweat, dedication, and a hard to find alloy called guts.
Everybody wants to win. But not everybody is willing to do what it takes.

Avoid salad before a game, can cause gas/uncomfortable feeling of fullness during the game.
Candy, sugar, honey
After an initial rise, your blood-sugar level can actually
drop below normal, resulting in a sudden feeling of
tiredness or fatigue.
Tea, chocolate, cola
Caffeine consumption leads to dehydration.
Fried foods, high-fat meats, fats, oils, gravies, sour cream, etc.
Fat digests slowly and therefore stays in the stomach
longer.
Some raw fruits, vegetables, popcorn, nuts, dry beans and peas
Some of these foods may cause gas and/or an
uncomfortable feeling of fullness during the game. An
athlete needs to avoid the foods that give these
problems.
Any new food
Don't experiment with new foods right before an event. If
you experience any adverse reactions, your body has
little time to recover.
Fruit-flavored drinks
Many drinks contain little fruit juice and a great deal of
sugar. Read the label.BS Kinesiology, CSCS, SPARQ training network
